About AGEE
AGEE means off to one side, crooked or awry, a dialect word that is also spelled AJEE (with a J instead of the G). Both are adverbs with no plural. AGEE uses an A and two E tiles around a single G, so it is a good way to clear surplus vowels. Picture a picture frame hanging agee on the wall, tilted to one side.

AGEE scores 5 points
Before any bonus squares: A 1 + G 2 + E 1 + E 1 = 5. On a double-word square that's 10, on a triple-word 15, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: AGEE as the first play
Later in the game, put the G on a 3L square and AGEE is worth 9 before any word bonus.
Hooks: one tile makes a new word
In front of AGEE (1):
- RAGEEEast Indian cereal grass whose seed yield a somewhat bitter flour, a staple in the Orient
Place that one tile so it also forms a word in the other direction and both words score.
